I also noticed that a fellow Canadian Food Blogger had already had this Canada Day Cake idea, her’s was a little fancier.

I have experimented with a few surprise inside Cakes but this one was the most fun. And of course considering I will be in Canada this July 1st makes it even more special.

I noticed a lot of people when making one of these cakes they make two mixes, but I only did one and removed a couple of cups for the coloured leaf.

Surprise Inside Canada Day Cake

I also used my Mom’s pound cake recipe which is really delicious, and a simple thick vanilla glaze as the topping.

I actually made this Canada Day Cake twice, the first time I placed the cut out leaves on some cake batter in the loaf pan and the leaves rose to the top, the second time I placed the leaves on the bottom of the loaf pan without batter and it worked perfectly.

Left over cake crumbs make the perfect Crumb Topping.
